1.0 General Information
Foreword:
This manual has been written to ensure the safe use, performance and longevity of the equipment and
is intended for use by engineers and properly trained technical personnel. Please read this manual
thoroughly before specifying, designing or installing a HumEvap system. Retain for reference.
Condair plc policy is one of continuous research and development. Condair plc reserves the right to
amend, without notice, the specifications provided in this document. The distributor does not guarantee,
or accept liability for, the accuracy of information in this document.
Any risks or hazards relating to the system, including during installation and maintenance, should be
identified by a competent Health & Safety representative who shall be responsible for introducing
effective control measures as necessary.
! WARNING:
Always isolate all supplies to the system before commencing any maintenance or repair.
Hygiene:
Your attention is drawn to the local Health & Safety Executive’s technical guidance on the control of
Legionellosis in water systems. If inadequately maintained, water systems, of which any humidifier is
a part, can support the growth of micro-organisms, including the bacterium that causes Legionnaires’
disease. The distributor has considered all aspects of this equipment to reduce as far as possible the
risk of Legionnaires’ disease and other similar conditions, but it is important that users are aware of
their responsibilities under the ACoP in reducing the risk of Legionellosis.
3 | HumEvap MC3
that the water system complies with local regulations and bylaws, particularly those for the control
of Legionella microbes (such as the HSE ACoP L8, The control of Legionella microbes in water
systems). The use of mains water fed tanks and reservoirs is only permitted as part of a managed
water treatment system.
! WARNING:
The HumEvap must be installed, operated and maintained in accordance with this manual.
Failure to do so could result in contamination that might cause Legionnaires’ disease, which
can be fatal.
Correct Use:
The HumEvap system is intended for adiabatic humidification and cooling. Any other, or further,
application is not considered use for the intended purpose. The distributor cannot be made liable for
any damage or injury attributable to inattentive, inappropriate, negligent or incorrect operation of the
equipment whether or not caused deliberately.
CAUTION:
To prevent water stagnation and microbial contamination, the HumEvap power supply should
be left switched on continuously. If the system is switched off for prolonged periods, typically
longer than one week (subject to risk assessment) the pipework and system should be
disinfected as per instructions and a full risk assessment undertaken to ensure safe operation.
Warranty:
HumEvap parts are warranteed for 2 years from invoice date with the exception of replacement items
listed in the routine maintenance section. Failure to observe the manufacturers installation and
maintenance recommendations and instructions will invalidate the warranty. Condair plc cannot be
made liable for damage or injury attributable to failure to observe the manufacturers installation and
maintenance recommendations and instructions.
The HumEvap OEM versions are designed for customers who are familiar with evaporative
humidification/cooling systems and wish to provide their own controls and hygiene precautions.
OEM versions are designed to be components in a hygienic humidification/evaporative cooling
system, and are not to be considered as entire systems in their own right. There are a number of
requirements that the customer MUST ensure are met in order to bring the OEM versions up to a
standard to comply with WRAS and VDI hygiene specifications. These are listed in this manual.
! WARNING:
The HumEvap ‘OEM’ versions, unlike the HumEvap MC3, do NOT incorporate, as standard,
methods to control the growth of micro-organisms (including the bacterium which causes
Legionnaire’s disease). When designing or installing an air handling system that incorporates
an ‘OEM HumEvap’, appropriate micro-organisms and microbial control methods MUST be
considered and this should only be undertaken by suitably qualified persons. A risk assessment
MUST also be undertaken in relation to control of micro-organisms and microbial growth,
especially Legionnaires disease. If in doubt and for further information, contact your distributor.

1.3 Delivery and Storage
To ensure consistent quality, each evaporative module is inspected before leaving the factory. If the
module is to be put into storage prior to installation, it must be stored under cover and protected from
physical damage, dust, frost and rain.
It is recommended that the evaporative module be kept in its transit packaging for as long as possible
prior to installation.
All evaporative modules are supplied flat-packed for assembly ‘in situ’. The evaporative
module must be assembled before water and electrical connections are made.
Please refer to HumEvap Evaporative Module Assembly Instructions supplied with the system.
Inspection
Upon receipt, remove the transit packaging and inspect the unit to ensure that no damage has
occurred during transit. Any visible damage must be reported to your distributor immediately. If the
unit is to be put into storage, the packaging should be replaced.
! WARNING:
The HumEvap evaporative material should not be cut or crushed as doing so may generate
dust.
HumEvap evaporative material is manufactured from glass fibre and is not classified as hazardous. It
is recommended that Personal Protection Equipment such as gloves, protective clothing and eye
protection are used during handling to protect the user from fibres or dust. If dust is generated during
handling it is recommended that respiratory protection is worn. Damage to the evaporative material
will affect the performance of the humidifier and may result in water carry over.
It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that operators are trained in handling heavy goods and to
enforce the relevant lifting regulations.
7 | HumEvap MC3
Any personnel handling or lifting the HumEvap system must follow the Lifting Operations and Lifting
Equipment Regulations 1998 and Approved Code of Practice L113. The regulation imposes duties on
employers and self employed persons and persons who have control, to any extent of lifting equipment.
The packaged HumEvap unit may be carried by fork lift from the underside, but caution should
be exercised to ensure that the load is balanced before lifting. Refer to weights and measures
section for system weight.
Disposal
You must observe local laws and regulations when disposing of your HumEvap at the end of its
working life. Use personal protective equipment as recommended in the handling section above when
handling the evaporative material. In addition, respiratory protection should be worn to avoid inhalation
of dust or debris from the air flow which may have accumulated on the material.
The evaporative module is constructed from stainless steel which may be fully recycled.
HumEvap MC3 | 8
1.4 Inlet Water - Quality Guide
The quality of water being used in the HumEvap system should be checked prior to the commissioning
of a system. It is recommended that the HumEvap system must be connected to a clean, potable
(drinking water quality) mains water supply. For areas of hard water and to minimise scale build up the
water supply may be treated by "Reverse Osmosis" (RO).
Reverse Osmosis
For HumEvap systems where the water supply is treated by RO it is recommended that the system is
operated within the following parameters. The use of RO water fed tanks and reservoirs is only
permitted as part of a managed and hygiene monitored water system and should form part of the water
system risk assessment.
Other Water Supplies
There is a growing demand to utilise sustainable water sources to help overcome scarcity challenges
and recycle water. It is possible to use high-quality, treated effluent for non-potable applications. The
following gives guidance on reclaimed water quality that may be acceptable for use within the
HumEvap. ‘Effluent treated water’, must be treated by an appropriate water treatment method and risk
assessed to ensure it is safe and suitable for use in the HumEvap unit. It is the responsibility of the
user to ensure that the water supply system is part of a managed, hygiene monitored water system,
risk assessed and complies with the local regulations and bylaws.
Below are example water conditions that would allow a HumEvap to operate within specification.

Inlet Water - Quality Guide Cont.
Controlled Substances
Many of the following controlled substances are toxic; for example Vinyl chloride is highly toxic,
flammable and carcinogenic and could be evaporated off the matrix and passed to the airflow.
Therefore it is important to note that any supply water coming from complex waste water, which may
contain these contaminates should therefore be carefully risk assessed by a water treatment specialist.
Water Monitoring
The HumEvap water system must be must be monitored for hygiene as part of the maintenance
programme. Please refer to the maintenance section for further guidance.
Depending on the system hygiene, it is advised that preventative disinfection chemical should be
added to the HumEvap water tank at an appropriate frequency, such as a monthly basis.
It is recommended that disinfection chemical 'DISIFIN' is added to the tank at approx 500 ppm strength
on a monthly basis to control microbiological activity. DISIFIN is a safe, non toxic, environmental
friendly & 100% biodegradable chemical which provides a prophylactic, disinfection dose and is
effective against all types of microorganisms including; legionella and E.coli.
DISIFIN may be added to the tank whilst the system continues operating and left to dissolve away
naturally. Please refer to the maintenance section for further guidance.
Note: Adding DISIFIN or other disinfection chemicals will increase the conductivity in the tank. This
should be taken into account on systems where a conductivity control system is in use.
If you are in any doubt about the suitability of water quality please contact Condair plc who will be
pleased to advise you.
11 | HumEvap MC3
1.5 HumEvap Principle of Operation
Raising the relative humidity or reducing the temperature by evaporative cooling by passing air
through a wetted matrix is a simple and safe way to humidify and cool the air - with the added benefits
of very low running costs.
At the heart of the HumEvap is the evaporative module, which is installed in an AHU or duct. Water
is supplied to the top of a highly efficient bonded matrix, which is impregnated with silver for added
hygiene. Dry air passes through this moist material picking up water vapour, raising the humidity as it
does so. This process consumes very little energy, far less than steam humidifiers, or even cold water
atomisers.
The water that doesn’t evaporate assists in washing the matrix material and flows into a stainless steel
tank at the base of the unit before being re-circulated up onto the matrix again (except in the HumEvap
OEM Direct Feed version, in which the water passes directly to drain).
As each vertical matrix bank has its own water supply, multi-stage control is an option which
individually operates sections of the system for closer control.
Modular construction facilitates a range of system sizes and efficiencies to match the requirements of
individual applications, and ease of installation, maintenance and replacement should damage occur
to any of the matrix cassettes.
To prevent clogging of the humidifier cassettes, the airflow into the module must be filtered to at least
EU5 filtration standard. Finer filtration may be required for hospitals or where air is being supplied to
areas where food or electronic products are being handled.
To prevent droplet carry over an optional droplet separator can be fitted. It is recommended for
velocities above 3.5 m/s (11.5 ft/s) and the HumEvap system is installed after the fan, a suitable
laminating device may be required.
For areas of hard water, water treatment such as reverse osmosis is recommended to reduce
maintenance requirements. (see water quality guide for further information).

1.6 HumEvap Overview
Evaporative Module
The evaporative module is available in a range of widths. Standard width;
(600mm (24”) to 3000mm (118”)) and XL width; (3300mm (130") to
3900mm (153.5")). The module is also available in a range of heights;
(750mm (30”) - 3000mm (118”)) to match the requirements of individual
applications. The evaporative matrix consists of modular cassettes with
low pressure drop which are available in a range of sizes and efficiencies.
The module has drain and overflow connections which are integrated on
MC3 versions. The drain assemblies supplied with XL and MC3 systems
are reversible and simplify drain plumbing.
A single electrical junction box, with pre-wired flying lead for connection to the management system is
included in the HumEvap MC3 system to simplify installation. The MC3
Plus system has two electrical junction boxes with pre-wired flying leads.
Water flow and level in the MC3 systems are controlled by a fill control
solenoid, float valve (x 2 on MC3 or MC3 Plus XL) and low/high level float
switch. Drain flow is controlled by a motorised valve on MC3 systems.
Water is recirculated over the matrix by a high grade circulating pump.
Management system
The HumEvap MC3 or MC3 Plus systems include a microprocessor
control panel which is located outside the AHU, up to 100m (328’) away
from the evaporative module. A 10m (33’) flying lead is supplied unless
otherwise specified (two flying leads are supplied on a MC3 Plus system).
The system gives digital control over desired relative humidity or temperature levels, with a built in
hygiene measures such as; dilution, drain and other water quality maintenance features.
The system can be timer controlled to activate only during hours of building occupancy.
Comprehensive real-time feedback shows current relative humidity and temperature, demand, hours
run, system operating status and whether maintenance is required.
The whole system is easy to set up, has multi-lingual options (English, French, German, Spanish,
Czech, Dutch, and Swedish) and is security code protected to prevent unauthorised alteration of
system settings.

HumEvap MC3 | 26
2.2 Step 1 - Position the Evaporative Module
Installation should only take place after careful consideration of final position of the Evaporative
module and management system and should be in accordance with AHU/duct-work installation
diagram on page 28.
Always discuss the position of the HumEvap module with your distributor/engineer or
representative!
CAUTION:
1. The AHU / duct-work floor must be designed with a loading capacity capable of supporting the
humidifier’s weight when wet, as the largest unit will weigh 465kg (1025 lb) when in operation - see
back of this manual for weights and measures.
2. A drain pan with provision for running water to waste should be installed within the humidification
section to allow for wetting that might occur during installation, commissioning,operation or
servicing. Where drain pans are required to drain under gravity, ensure that the drains are trapped
and primed and have enough head to overcome the pressure of the system and for hygiene
reasons completely drain down. On commissioning the system, drainage of the humidification
section should be tested. The drain pan MUST drain fully and should be accessible for cleaning
and disinfection as part of routine maintenance of the system.
3. The Module must be positioned on a minimum height 50 mm (2”) up-stand or runners to allow for
drain pipe-work installation and removal of the tank and cassettes through the side of the AHU
if required.
4. Provisions should be made for the water inlet, drain pipe-work and interconnecting electrical cable
to exit through the side of the AHU.
5. Side access through a door (preferably such that the cassettes may be pulled through for
maintenance) should always be provided and a minimum of 600mm (24”) access front and rear
of system for inspection, commissioning and maintenance.
6. A perforated plate (60/40) should be installed upstream in cases where the air flow is uneven.

CAUTION:
Very important: Use a spirit level to make sure that the unit is level front to back and across
the width when installed. Failure to observe this point could result in flooding of the AHU / duct.
HumEvap MC3 | 28
2.3 Step 2 - Install Blanking Plates
Once the HumEvap Evaporative Module has been positioned in the waterproof section of air handling
unit, non-corrosive blanking plates (not supplied) must be installed to prevent air bypass around the
Module in the AHU.
29 | HumEvap MC3
2.4 Step 3 - Connect Feed Water Supply
A feed water supply with a minimum flow of 14 litres (3.7 gallons) (28 litres (7.4 gallons) for XL) per
minute at a pressure of 2 bar (29 psi) should be connected to the 1/2” BSP female threaded connection
of the filling hose.
If installing the PureFlo Ag+ or PureFlo UV (in-line) system option, it should be positioned as close to
the Evaporative Module inlet as possible. It is advisable to mount the PureFlo Ag+ or PureFlo UV
(in-line) outside the AHU for ease of access.
Typically, 15mm interconnecting copper pipework will be used. Not suitable for external mounting
or freezing conditions.

2.5 Step 4 - Install Drain Pipework
The Evaporative Module features a gravity drain and overflow which must be connected to the main
building drain with 28mm copper or stainless pipework. The normally open drain assembly can be
reversed to face in the opposite direction to suit either left or right feed pipe-work. This drain assembly
should be connected to the main building drain via the 28mm push fit connection (with an appropriate
fall for gravity drain) and must be trapped to a suitable depth in accordance with the operating
pressure of the AHU.
Please note: HumEvap XL Systems do not have a combined drain and overflow. The system is
supplied with drain plumbing and a separate 42mm push fit elbow on the overflow. They should NOT
be combined to ensure
adequate flow rate.

HumEvap MC3 | 40
3.1 Step 1 - Position the Evaporative Module
Step 1 - Position the Evaporative Module
Installation should only take place after careful consideration of final position of the Evaporative
module and management system and should be in accordance with AHU/duct-work installation
diagram below.
CAUTION:
Always discuss the position of the HumEvap module with your engineer or representative!
1. The AHU / duct-work floor must be designed with a loading capacity capable of supporting the
humidifier’s weight when wet, as the largest unit will weigh 461kg (1016 lb) when in operation -
see back of this manual for weights and measures.
CAUTION:
2. The HumEvap system must be installed within a waterproof AHU section. A drain pan with
provision for running water to waste should be installed within the humidification section to allow for
wetting that might occur during installation, commissioning,operation or servicing. Where drain pans
are required to drain under gravity, ensure that the drains are trapped and primed and have enough
head to overcome the pressure of the system and for hygiene reasons completely drain down. On
commissioning the system, drainage of the humidification section should be tested. The drain pan
MUST drain fully and should be accessible for cleaning and disinfection as part of routine maintenance
of the system.
3. The Module must be positioned on a minimum height 50 mm (2”) up-stand or runners to allow for
drain pipe-work installation and removal of the tank and cassettes through the side of the AHU if
required.
4. Provisions should be made for the water inlet, drain pipe-work and interconnecting electrical cable
to exit through the side of the AHU.
5. Side access through a door (preferably such that the cassettes may be pulled through for
maintenance) should always be provided and a minimum of 600mm (24”) access front and rear
of system for inspection, commissioning and maintenance.
6. A perforated plate (60/40) should be installed upstream in cases where the air flow is uneven.

3.3 Step 3 - Connect Feed Water Supply
A feed water supply with a minimum flow of 14 litres (3.7 gallons) (28 litres (7.4 gallons) for XL) per
minute at a pressure of 2 bar (29 psi) should be connected to the 1/2” BSP female threaded connection
of the filling hose.
If installing the PureFlo Ag+ or PureFlo UV (in-line) system option, it should be positioned as close to
the Evaporative Module inlet as possible. It is advisable to mount the PureFlo Ag+ or PureFlo UV (in-
line) outside the AHU for ease of access.
Typically, 15mm interconnecting copper pipework will be used. Not suitable for external mounting
or freezing conditions.
Feed Water Supply Connections - A feedwater supply with a minimum flow of 14 litres (31lb) per minute
as a pressure of 2 bar (29 psi) should be connected to the Evaporative Module via the float valve.

The Evaporative Module features a gravity drain and overflow which must be connected to the main
building drain with 28mm copper or stainless pipework. The normally open drain assembly can be
reversed to face in the opposite direction to suit either left or right feed pipe-work. This drain assembly
should be connected to the main building drain via the 28mm push fit connection (with an appropriate
fall for gravity drain) and must be trapped to a suitable depth in accordance with the operating pressure
of the AHU.
Please note: HumEvap XL Systems do not have a combined drain and overflow. The system is
supplied with drain plumbing and a separate 32mm push fit elbow on the overflow. They should NOT
be combined to ensure adequate flow rate.
Drain Installation
CAUTION:
When installing the drain, please allow an adequate fall for gravity drain.
CAUTION:
NOTE: The drain connection must be made via an air gap to comply with WRAS guidelines in
the United Kingdom.
Drain Trap
For negative pressure AHU systems drain must be isolated. DO NOT common
with AHU drains as backflow into humidifier may occur.
Drain Trap Sizing: Allow a depth of 25 mm (1”) for every 250 Pa (1”Wg) of duct
pressure (eg 1000 mm (4”) for 1000 Pa (4”Wg) duct pressure).

3.5 HumEvap OEM Circulating - Requirements
To ensure hygiene of the HumEvap OEM Circulating Humidifier and to comply with WRAS and
VDI standards, the following requirements should be met:
1. A double check valve (DCV) must be fitted on the mains water inlet in the UK, to protect
contamination of the mains water supply in accordance with WRAS guidelines.
2. The drain plumbing connections must be made via an air gap in accordance with local regulations
to prevent back siphonage into the system. The air gap will allow the user to check that water is
running to drain.
3. There must be a means of preventing the tank staying full of water during periods of non-operation
of more than 24 hours. This will prevent water stagnation and reduce the risk of legionella.
4. The bleed off must be connected to the drain. This will allow a percentage of the water in the
system to pass to drain thus preventing excessive mineral build up in the system.
5. A float switch should be fitted to shut off the fill solenoid in the event of overflow.
6. A float switch should be fitted to prevent the pump from running if the tank is empty.
7. A water inlet valve should be fitted to shut off the water supply whenever the system is not required.
9. A Motorised normally open drain must be fitted to ensure flow shut off in the event of maintenance

The commissioning of the HumEvap humidifier requires appropriately trained technical per-
sonnel. It is strongly recommended that your distributor commissions your system.
! WARNING:
Please pay attention to local regulations regarding working at heights and electrical work. Part
of this commissioning process is a disinfection of water tank and matrix. Please read this
document in full before commencing any work.
Pre-Commissioning Checklist
Warning! This humidifier must be installed, operated and maintained in accordance with this
manual. Failure to do so could result in contamination that might cause Legionnaires’ disease,
which can be fatal.
2. Evaporative Module Installation. Check that the Module has been installed level in all planes
with secure blankingplates to prevent air bypass. Check that there is sufficient access for evapo-
rative matrix cassette removal during maintenance. Ensure assembly is securely fixed, and that
there is no visible damage. Check that the Module is installed in a waterproof section.
3. Feed water Installation. Please refer to the Water Guide in this manual. Ensure the water
system in the building has been subject to a Risk Assessment. The HumEvap system MUST be
connected to a clean, potable mains water supply. It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that
the water system complies with local regulations and bylaws, particularly those for the control of
Legionella microbes (such as the HSE ACoP L8, The control of Legionella microbes in water sys-
tems). The use of mains water fed tanks and reservoirs is only permitted as part of a managed
water treatment system. Check that the Evaporative Module has a feed water supply in excess of
2 bar (29 psi) connected to the supplied WRAS approved filling hose. Ensure that any hygiene
options have been correctly installed. Check all joints and fittings for leaks.
4. Drain installation. Check that the drain on the Evaporative Module is connected to the main
building drain. Ensure that this drain pipe-work is trapped to a suitable level for the applicable
working duct pressure, refer to the relevant section of the manual. Check all joints and fittings.
Ensure that the drain connection includes an air gap.
5. Distribution Pipework. Check all water distribution pipework between the pump assembly and
the distribution headers are securely fitted.

6. Electrical Power Supply. Check that a 230Vac / 5A (or 110Vac / 10A power supply in the US) is
connected to the system pump. Check that the system is installed in accordance with the local
regulations.
7. Module Water Tank. Check that the Evaporative Module water tank is free of any dirt and debris,
and is clean.
8. Flush Water Supply. Check that the water supply has been flushed to prevent water stagnation
and to clear any flux or foreign matter. This must be done carefully without creating splashing or
aerosols.
10. Health and Safety. Take a water sample to ensure that supply meets the requirements specified
in the water quality guide. The sample should be tested using a dip slide to indicate the total
number of coliforming units per ml (cfu/ml). Generally, levels of 1x103 cfu/ml may be considered
acceptable for this type of humidifier provided the species of microbes and/or fungi involved are
themselves not considered to be harmful. If you are unsure of the quality of your water please
consult your distributor for advice.

Step 3 - Dilution Cycle
DILUTION CYCLE Screen three allows setting the parameters for the dilution cycle. The
Interval:____60_mins process of evaporative humidification or cooling leads to a build up of
Duration:___10_mins dissolved solids in the water tank. To control the level of dissolved solids in
the tank, the HumEvap will operate a Dilution Cycle at preset intervals of
operation. During the Dilution Cycle the HumEvap will simultaneously open
the inlet solenoid and motorised drain valve for a preset duration to drain
dissolved solids away and replenish the tank with fresh water. The Dilution
Cycle does not interrupt normal system operation. The Dilution Cycle
frequency and duration is determined by the inlet water quality and
operating capacity of the HumEvap tank, and should be set in accordance
with the tables shown overleaf.
H2O TEMPERATURE Screen six allows settings the parameters for the Water Temperature
Monitoring function. Where fitted, the temperature limit for the tank can be
Limit:________20__ºC
Fault Time:___5_mins preset, along with the delay after which an alarm output is required. When
the system is running and the water temperature exceeds the preset limit,
the HumEvap system will simultaneously open the inlet solenoid and
motorised drain valve to bring in fresh water and reduce the operating
water temperature of the system. If the temperature does not decrease to
below the Limit’ within the ‘Fault Time’, the unit will enter a fault mode and
activate an alarm output.

HumEvap MC3 | 84
6.2 HumEvap MC3 & OEM Maintenance Guide
Please note that the information given below is only to act as a guide and the frequency of maintenance
may depend upon the unit’s age, usage and water quality.
Correct maintenance is vital to ensure optimum output and reliability.
All humidifiers will form part or your hot and cold water system and as such require you to undertake
certain duties with regards to “The control of Legionella microbes in water systems” (L8). Your water
sampling / testing and disinfection regime must be based on details in the O&M manual and from
results of a site specific risk assessment. For this type of Evaporative Humidifier, it is recommended
that disinfection is undertaken at least twice a year.
If any further assistance is required or you are interested in a planned maintenance quote, please
contact your distributor.
85 | HumEvap MC3
HumEvap MC3 & OEM Maintenance Guide
HumEvap MC3 | 86
6.3 HumEvap Routine Water Sampling and Testing
Hygiene:
Your attention is drawn to the local Health & Safety Executive’s technical guidance on the control of
Legionellosis in water systems. If inadequately maintained, water systems, of which any humidifier is
a part, can support the growth of micro-organisms, including the bacterium that causes Legionnaires’
disease. All aspects of this equipment has been designed and considered to reduce the risk of
Legionnaires’ disease and other similar conditions as much as possible, but it is important that users
are aware of their responsibilities under the ACoP in reducing the risk of Legionellosis.
On commissioning and at regular intervals thereafter, test for possible water contamination using
Dipslides. Take samples from the water supply to the HumEvap Matrix and from the HumEvap tank.
Check for biofilm.
87 | HumEvap MC3
HumEvap Routine Water Sampling and Testing
1. If biofilm (a slimy or gel-like deposit when wet, which might be dry and crisp in a dry system) is
found during any inspection of the humidifier or water system, the humidifier MUST be switched
off and not put back into operation until the system has been taken apart, scrubbed and thor-
oughly cleaned with a suitable biocide with biofilm penetrating qualities such as 50ppm chlorine
dioxide solution. This work should only be carried out by fully trained specialist organisations or
individuals.
2. The HumEvap Humidifier must be left powered on to allow automatic flushing and cleaning
cycles to occur. If the HumEvap system is powered off for prolonged periods, water stagnation
might occur and contamination result, so the system, including any storage tanks or vessels should
be drained and left dry. Before putting the system back into service, the water pipework supplying
the HumEvap should be purged carefully, avoiding the creation of aerosols by splashing, and a
water sample should be taken to ensure cleanliness. In the event that the humidifier pipework
contains any residual water or has remained damp, and the temperature exceeded 20°C (68°F),
the HumEvap should be chlorinated using 50 ppm chlorine solution for 1 hour.
Call your distributor for advice on water sampling and analysis, disinfection of systems, service and
maintenance contracts.
HumEvap MC3 | 88
6.4 Cleaning and Disinfection
! WARNING:
1. Risk assess the situation. This should include but is not limited to observance of COSHH, L8
and the use of PPE, working from heights and ensuring a full understanding of the HumEvap
System.
2. Coordinate with relevant responsible persons.
3. Check records (i.e sample results of microbiological control) for system history.
4. If possible, disinfection should be carried out when the building is unoccupied, with air flow off.
Evaporative humidifiers must be regularly cleaned and maintained, to prevent contamination especially
in industrial environments.
All surfaces requiring disinfection or cleaning must be in contact with the appropriate concentration of
disinfection solution for at least one hour. The method statement for disinfection may need to be
adapted depending on the layout of the humidifier pipe-work, for example, where system pipe-work
splits into ‘H or U’ shape, ensure that disinfection solution reaches all pipe-work end-of-lines. Additional
procedures will be required for supply water system pipe-work or water treatment systems prior to the
humidifier.
It is recommended that routine disinfection should take place in the following situations:
• At initial commissioning. (For brand new systems use DISIFIN XL disinfection chemical).
• Where routine monitoring and control regime or risk assessment shows it to be necessary, the use
of DISIFIN XL monthly or as necessary is recommended. 1 sachet per 2m width of tank should be
placed in the tank and allowed to dissolve.
• At six monthly intervals.
• If the system or part of it has been shutdown and/or substantially altered creating a risk of
contamination.
• During or following an outbreak or suspected outbreak of Legionellosis.
This recommendation is in accordance with the HSE’s Approved Code of Practice (ACoP) L8.
